The least credible of the 4 major award shows comes back this Sunday, so before we once again complain about how the Grammys aim for far more mainstream works unlike its Oscar and Emmy counterparts, we\u2019ve pieced together a list of predictions for who\u2019ll probably win, but who deserves<\/em> to win as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Album Of The Year<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should Win: Golden Hour<\/em>– Kacey Musgraves or Dirty Computer<\/em>– Janelle Mon\u00e1e<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Will Win: Dirty Computer<\/em>– Janelle Mon\u00e1e <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drake and Post Malone are clearly more mainstream here, but one of the culprits of Grammys past has been the \u201cgenre-splitting\u201d phenomenon. Compared to other award shows, voters here tend to lean toward a specific genre more than they would in voting for movies or television. In instances where multiple artists of the same genre compete for non-genrefied awards (basically all the biggest prizes of the night), the votes tend to get divvied up between them, resulting in all parties getting screwed. This year, hip-hop-leaning voters will choose from Cardi B, Post Malone, Drake, and the rap\/R&B hybrid Black Panther <\/em>album. Therefore, Musgraves and Mon\u00e1e have a clear advantage this time around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
